As you know, your living room rug adds warmth and comfort to the central room of your home. As a result, finding and selecting the best rug for your own living room can be a daunting prospect. Well, never fear! Rugs USA's 20+ years of online rug expertise can help get you acquainted with the right options. In fact, we recommend starting with these three easy considerations:

Pick the right size for your room. Living rooms come in all sizes, so it's key to get out the measuring tape and pick a rug that fits nicely in your space. See more on rug sizing below.
What's your best shape? Rectangles are the go-to rugs for most rooms, but perhaps a square, round, or oval rug is worth considering.
Now express your style. Filter by style/color on our site and choose the foundation for your room's decor.

You can also explore patterns, materials, weaves, and more via our handy filters, but have faith that you're on the road to the right rug with these three easy points.

Want help choosing the right rug size?

Unsure about the right size of your living room's new area rug, or just want to make sure you're on track to making the right size choice? Read our guide to choosing the right rug size. And here’s some quick help in our list of common living room sizes:

5x8 rugs: These work well for smaller living rooms, or perhaps a discrete section (like a reading nook) in a larger room. Smaller rugs play off of the room’s scale, lending a larger feel to tight spaces. Place the rug in front of your sofa and chairs, and center the coffee table on top for a classic layout.
8x10 rugs:These large area rugs work well with bigger living rooms and help to unify the space. Rest the front legs of your sofa and chairs on top of these rugs. This layout works especially well with furniture placed against a wall, since no one will be stepping behind the furniture.
9x12 rugs and oversized rugs: Perfect for defining seating areas in large, open spaces where furniture groups are not against walls, these extra-large rugs are big enough to accommodate sofas, loveseats, armchairs, and coffee tables with room to spare. Make sure you size the rug so there is 24 inches of space beyond the furniture set to allow room for walking.
